  • Player of the Match
    Ebadot Hossain
We are set to begin! The New Zealand players take the field. Followed by Shadman Islam and Mahmudul Hasan Joy who walk out to bat for Bangladesh. Tim Southee to start with the ball.
... Second innings ...
Not what New Zealand envisioned for themselves. Their plan would’ve been to get 400 runs on the board but credit to Bangladesh spinners who spun a web around the batters and restricted the Kiwis to 328 runs. Mehidy Hasan led the bowling attack for the visitors and he picked up 3 wickets. Mominul Haque took the final wicket to end things for the Kiwis. Henry Nicholls could not get much support from the other end, he fought a lone battle and if not for him New Zealand would've never crossed the 300-run mark.

Mehidy Hasan To Neil Wagner OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Tossed up nicely, around off, spinning away. Neil Wagner lunges forward and tries to block. The ball goes off the outside edge and Liton Das takes the catch. Bangladesh appeals for it but the umpire is unmoved. They are very confident that there was an edge there. Mominul Haque challenges the umpire. UltraEdge shows there was a spike when the ball passed the bat. Excellent review from Bangladesh. So, Neil Wagner walks back for a golden duck. Mehidy Hasan is on a hat-trick now.
Neil Wagner is the new man in.

We are set for the first session! The players stride out to the middle. Henry Nicholls walks out in the middle and is accompanied by Rachin Ravindra. Ebadot Hossain to complete his over.
Bangladesh on the other hand, need wickets. Shoriful Islam was the pick of the lot and needs support from the other end to scalp the remaining 5 wickets and try to restrict New Zealand under 300. An interesting first session coming up shortly.
New Zealand would want to post a big first innings total. The foundation was laid by Devon Conway and Will Young and with Henry Nicholls still on the crease, the Kiwis would look to pile as many runs as possible. In posting a hundred on Saturday, Conway became just the sixth man in history and the first since Michael Clarke in 2004 to score a century in his first Tests at both home and away. Australian duo Harry Graham and Kepler Wessels, Pakistan's Azhar Mahmood and England's Sir Andrew Strauss are the other men to achieve the rare feat.
Hello and a warm welcome to Day 2 of the first Test between New Zealand and Bangladesh. New Zealand will be fairly satisfied with the runs they have on the board while Bangladesh would be happy too as the bowlers chipped up 3 wickets in the final session of Day 1 and didn't let their opponents run away with the game. Let's see what Day 2 has in store for us.
... Day 2, Session 1 ...
Right then! The visitors will be happy with the wickets they picked in the final session and would look to build on the same. New Zealand, on the flip side, would want Henry Nicholls to bat for long and get close to the 350-run mark. The action continues on Sunday, January 2, 2022. The first ball will be bowled at 3.30 am IST (10 pm GMT, previous day). But the build-up will begin much in advance. Do join us for that. Till then, cheers!
Devon Conway is up for a chat. He says that it was very challenging to bat upfront and the wicket was green. Mentions that it got a lot better lately and is happy to contribute. Tells that Bangladesh bowled pretty well and it was all about being patient. Adds that they are disappointed that they lost Tom Blundell at the end but feels that they are still in a strong position. On his wicket, he says that it is the last way one wants to get out after all the hard work but that's how it goes.
Bangladesh started the first hour of the day really well but looked to have lost their track as the ball kept getting old and there was no movement off it. The pitch too got better and better to bat. Bangladesh bowlers toiled very hard and gained rewards with three wickets in the final session. That would certainly boost their confidence after ending the day on a positive note.
After losing Tom Latham early on and Will Young before Tea, Devon Conway and Ross Taylor batted really well and the runs kept coming at a brisk rate after the Tea break. Taylor was struggling to find the middle of the blade initially but got into his rhythm and struck some beautiful shots but unfortunately, he slipped out once he tried to up his ante. Later, Nicholls came in and made his intentions clear with his aggressive shots. But soon after, Conway was sent back as well and at the stroke of Stumps, they lost Tom Blundell as well. The Kiwis are still in a commonding position though and would look to pile as many runs as possible on Day 2.
What a great comeback by the visitors in the final session of the day. It was all about New Zealand in the first two sessions, but the hosts lost Devon Conway who was well set and then lost Tom Blundell at the stroke of Stumps. Bangladesh would be happy with their bowling performance and would hope to end things early on Day 2.

Ebadot Hossain To Tom Blundell OUT!
OUT! CHOPPED ON! Bangladesh do get a wicket in the final over of the day. Back of a length, outside off, Tom Blundell stands up on his toes and looks to punch. Plays a little late as the ball goes off the inside edge and goes back to disturb the stumps. Bangladesh would have loved a couple of wickets in the final session and they have got exactly that. Tom Blundell walks back dejected. THAT WILL BE STUMPS ON DAY 1!

DRINKS! Bangladesh have got the wicket of Ross Taylor but New Zealand are still in a pole position for a huge first innings total. Devon Conway is looking rock solid and with the support of Henry Nicholls, New Zealand would look to end the session without any further hiccups. While Bangladesh would dearly love a wicket and will be eyeing Devon Conway's wicket. A bowling change for Bangladesh. Najmul Hossain Shanto is brought into the attack now.

... DAY 1, SESSION 3 ...
Session 2 Summary - 81runs, 0 wickets, 27 overs. Clearly, this session belonged to the hosts. Yes, they did lose Will Young but before that, he and Devon Conway continued post Lunch to blunt the Bangladesh bowling attack. The duo kept motoring along and also brought up their individual fifties. The track eased out considerably and it looked like Bangladesh would have a wicketless session but credit to some good piece of fielding, they saw the back of Will Young. Devon Conway on his return has been looking in good touch and is inching closer to his century. Bangladesh would dearly love a wicket or two post Tea to get some momentum but will have to be more disciplined with the ball. While New Zealand look in a good position and would look to continue to do so especially with the pitch assisting the batters. Do join us at 8.30 am IST (3 pm GMT) for the final session.

... DAY1, SESSION 2 ...
Bangladesh seamers were on the money in the opening hour of the session and got an important wicket of Latham. Later, they were unable to cause much threat and leaked handful runs. The bowlers though kept their lines and lengths tight just to build some pressure on the hosts. Even though they were not rewarded, the visitors would look to continue on their good way. Will the Bangla bowlers be able to get a couple of wickets? Or will the hosts remain solid in their defense? To find out, do join us for the second session at 6.10 am IST (12.40 am GMT).
It was not a good start for the hosts, they lost their skipper, Tom Latham, pretty early on. Then a steady stand between Conway and Young made sure they remain unscathed till Lunch. Certainly after the drinks break, the runs came in a convincingly good rate for the Kiwis. The pair stitched a crucial partnership of 65 runs.
After a slow start, Conway and Young managed to stable the ship for their side. A bright start by the visitors but they could not capitalize on it.

Taskin Ahmed To Devon Conway
Not far away from hitting the pads! Good-length ball, on middle, nipping in. Devon Conway nudges it to square leg. Taskin Ahmed will have to reload again as he has overstepped. No ball signalled.
DRINKS! A really good first hour of play for Bangladesh. They have got the Kiwi skipper, Tom Latham and are keeping things very tight. The seamers are doing their job well and would look to continue to do that. Meanwhile, Devon Conway and Will Young will look to keep the scoreboard ticking and remain unscathed till Lunch.

Bangladesh have taken a review for an LBW. UltraEdge shows there is no bat involved. Ball Tracking shows that the ball is pitching outside off, the impact is umpire's call and it is umpire's call on wickets hitting as well. The original decision stays. Bangladesh retain their review.

NOT OUT! Devon Conway survives. This was really, really close but the umpire's call helps Conway to stay in the middle. A length ball, outside off, shaping in. Conway looks to defend it out but misses and gets hit on the pads. Shoriful Islam appeals but the umpire shakes his head. Shoriful Islam convinces his skipper and they take the review. It shows umpire's call on impact and ball hitting the wicket. Bangladesh do not lose a review here.

Shoriful Islam To Tom Latham OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Liton Das takes a stunner behind the stumps to sent back the Kiwi skipper, Tom Latham. A full-length ball, around off, Latham looks to drive it to the off side but gets an inside edge on it. The ball flies to the left of the keeper. Das dives low to his left to take a sharp catch. It wouldn't have carried to the first slip fielder and Liton Das has done really well to dive full stretch to his left and grab it one-handed. Tom Latham walks back to the pavilion for a timid score. He is livid with himself. Shoriful Islam is pumped up and has provided Bangladesh with an early breakthrough. Just what they needed.

Hint of swing straightaway! Length delivery, on off, coming back in, at 133 clicks. Latham pushes it to mid off.
Done with the pre-match formalities. We are set to begin now! The players of Bangladesh stride out to the middle. The players take their respective fielding positions. Tom Latham and Will Young are the openers for New Zealand. Taskin Ahmed to start the proceedings with the ball. Three slips and a gully in place. Here we go...
Both teams stride out to the middle and line up for the National Anthem. It will be Bangladesh's first followed by New Zealand's.
Bangladesh (Playing XI) - Shadman Islam, Mahmudul Hasan Joy, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Mominul Haque (C), Mushfiqur Rahim, Liton Das (WK), Yasir Ali, Mehidy Hasan, Taskin Ahmed, Ebadot Hossain, Shoriful Islam.
New Zealand (Playing XI) - Tom Latham (C), Will Young, Devon Conway, Ross Taylor, Henry Nicholls, Tom Blundell (WK), Rachin Ravindra, Kyle Jamieson, Tim Southee, Neil Wagner, Trent Boult.
TOSS - Up goes the coin and it lands in the favor of Bangladesh. They have elected to BOWL first.
Bangladesh come into the series as underdogs but will be eager to punch above their weights despite their poor record. Mominul Haque has a massive responsibility on his shoulders and has lot to prove in this series. He will already be without their main gun, Shakib Al Hasan and will also miss the services of Tamim Iqbal. While Mahmudullah has retired from the format and thus, a lot relies on the skipper and the veteran Mushfiqur Rahim. Given all that, it is going to take a herculean effort from the visitors to register their first WTC points. Will they be able to do so? We will find out over the course of the next 5 days. Toss and team news in a bit. And, wishing you all a Happy New Year once again!
New Zealand will be without Kane Williamson and also have surprisingly left out Ajaz Patel who claimed all 10 wickets against India in the first innings of the second Test. But Tom Latham will be with his entire frontline pace attack. Devon Conway is also set to return after an injury. This series will be special for another reason, as veteran batter Ross Taylor announced retirement from international cricket and this two Tests will be his final hurrah in the longest format.
On the flip side, Bangladesh have had a disastrous 2021 atleast in the longest format of the game. They have lost five Tests, drew one and their solitary win came against Zimbabwe. To add salt to the injury, their record in New Zealand is something they wouldn't want to look at. Can they turn things this time around?
New Zealand are coming into this series after a 1-0 loss against India. The same side against whom they won the inaugural World Test Championship. Now their next challenge is Bangladesh. Tom Latham is set to don the captaincy hat as Kane Williamson is ruled out of the series with a shoulder injury. The Kiwis' home record against Bangladesh is superb as they have played 9 Tests and have won all of them. Can they continue their home dominance against the Bangla Tigers?
First of all, Happy New Year to everyone! First day of the new year and it kick starts with the longest format of the game. The World Test Championship winners will start their home summer against Bangladesh in a two-match Test series. The first Test will take place at Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui. On that note, welcome to the coverage.
